I havent has issues with Blue Iris and I cant remember where Ive made such claims. The fact that Blue Iris runs fine on Windows, doesnt stop me hoping for a Docker version in the future. Ive moved my Blue Iris install around between 2 different VMWare hosts, a Kaby Lake i5 Intel NUC, HP...

Plex also supports GPU acceleration, it works fine running both on the same machine. Maybe not if you run 20+ cameras..

I have access to a truckload of Broadwell based HP Core i5s laptops and desktops, but that doesnt stop me from wanting to run BI in Docker to consolidate. I use OpenVPN to access any local resource, but I still have to take constant Windows Updates into consideration. Im currently running a...

I agree that Blue Iris should be offered with a Docker option. I wouldnt run my Home Automation on a bloated OS that needs constant patches to keep safe. Running Home Assistant together with other services like Node-Red and Plex in Docker makes perfect sense. Same goes for Blue Iris IMO.

Dedicating 4 cores of my Xeon-D 1541 without any GPU acceleration, my CPU use is around 30% in the Windows 10 VM with 4 Dahua 5231 Starlights. 8700K would be insane overkill unless running alot of cameras. My cpu is based on Broadwell and boosts to 2.7GHz. 8700K is newer and boosts to 4.7GHz? I3...

The E-2146G is by far the best choice for the cost/performance. Its 6 cores 12 threads, with the integrated GPU for 311 USD. Ive changed my Blue Iris over to a Xeon D-1541 platform for the moment. My Intel NUC would overheat on the NVMe drive and crash unless I set the fan to unacceptable...

E3 1230 doesnt have a GPU, you need a model ending in "5". Also you need a motherboard with a C2x6 chipset, C2x2 wont work

Yes, ESXi 6.7 is still free with a few limitations. Being able to run some Dockers in a Linux VM on the same box is useful. Im actually running Plex on the same VM as Blue Iris and its working great so far. I have 4 Dahua Starlight turrets, but cpu is around 20% with Quick Sync in use and GUI...

If the parameters are not present, the adapter will still appear inside the VM and you can install the driver. However, you will get the "Code 43" error in Device Manager on the GPU and it wont initialize. You can still see the VMWare web console, but you wont be able to open the Win10 VM...

Hey Just wanted to say that this is entirely possible and works fine in a Windows 10 1809 VM. Ive used my Intel NUC 7i5BNK which has the Core i5-7260U CPU with Intel Iris Plus 640 graphics. It currently has 8GB DDR4 memory and a 128GB Intel 600p NVMe SSD. ESXi 6.7 Update 1 runs from a Sandisk...

Very happy with my IPC-HDW4231EM-ASE. Its working nicely for the intended purpose.

Thanks for your suggestions. I ended up ordering IPC-HDW4231EM-ASE from Andy. Im very happy with my 5231R-Z varifocals, so I expect this camera to do the job indoors nicely enough.

Hey Im looking to replace 2 Netgear Arlo Q cameras since they dont work well with my Home Assistant setup. Are Hikvision 2MP cubes the best indoor camera for use with Blue Iris, or are there other options to consider? Im using them to keep track of the kids while they sleep mostly, so good...

Is this still working? Ive got an i5 Kaby Lake NUC that Im considering using for Blue Iris. Id like to use ESXi if possible to run a few other small VMs with low requirements as well.

No options that have PoE instead? I prefer everything over Ethernet if possible. @EMPIRETECANDY

Sorry, i dont neccesarily need two way audio, but at least 1 way. Im using BlueIris. I already have 2 Arlo Q used AS baby cams so one option is to just add another and keep Dahua/hikvision with BlueIris for outdoors..

Hey Im about to order 2x 5231 outdoors. What are the best options for something indoors from Dahua? Dont have alot of requirements other than PoE and 2way audio+ good nightvision

Spot 2 With a wall mounted 5231 would work to cover the window? Or would using it without the wall Mount work?

Ok, but it would maybe be overkill to put another cam at spot 2/3 if I put a turret at spot 1. I have a Hikvision 2142 covering the side of the house where spot 3 is marked.

Hey Id really like some advice as to how to cover my driveway as best as possible. Ive marked 3 spots where I can easily get an Ethernet cable run through the wall. Which placement is best if I wanna cover the window, and preferably entire driveway? Should I go for a smaller turret 5231 or...

Thanks! I agree, it does look more tidy:)

Thanks for a very informative post:) I only have to drill through a normal wooden board, so it Should be fine. But then again the wall mount might make it look nicer. Ill check it out:)

Can this be mounted flat against a horizontal wall, or do you need to buy the additional wall mount? Doesnt seem like Andy is stocking the mount.

Hey Im considering this model since its about the same price as 2042/2142/2342 in Norway. Anyone have any thoughts about this model compared to those? I know its about twice as big physically as 2042, but that would at least make people notice it:)...
